I wrote this many years ago – a tribute to my mom, my first wife, and all the mom’s I know. While the focus was directed at stay-at-home moms, my mom was not… the sentiment, about mom’s in general, is true. And yes, I was, by all accounts, a mama’s boy – in that, I […]
There is no grand message here – except maybe, similar to stop and smell the roses, stop and experience the geese of life. ……. I’ve always taken my children with me to clients… if they wanted to go. [see full-image below] In 1996, I was consulting for Sebastian Haircare in Woodland Hills – the Pyramid […]
Here is the lie: “I don’t care what people think.” also expressed as, “I give zero fucks!” Stop saying this! It’s a lie and you prove that in the saying. You are convincing no one – and those who know this truth can see through your lie. Okay.. you are convincing someone. You are convincing […]

Dammit! Now I need to write something into my alliteration. Reading time: 6:40-ish I’m not big on New Year’s Resolutions. I’ve beaten this subject to death, so. If interested, you can read my take here. I do, however, believe in setting goals, establishing plans, and working for outcomes. And I think the New Year provides […]
I posted this on Facebook. I find it curious/strange to watch people talk about wanting to have 2016 finish and 2017 to start. ======= Side note: I never wish a day away – I don’t wish for Friday on Monday.. we get a limited quantity of days and I want EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! […]
A note about this story Reading time: 4:40 (approx): I told this story at a recent Moth event in Los Angeles and felt it deserved to be published. I asked Julie if she was comfortable with me publishing it on my blog. She graciously said yes.
DISCLAIMER: I’m getting a little technical but this is not a comprehensive article on Internet security. It does provide some simple (relatively) ideas to help you secure your home network.
